I will def test it as soon as I get home, but from what I see, I won't be able to swap displays like I do with Xsplit. With Shadowplay I will just cast my main screen and won't be able to swap chars. Is that right? With Xsplit I have screens assigned to each of my chars hotkeys (F1, F2, etc.) so whenever I press F2, I switch to that char and cast that screen.

Regardless I'll give it a try later tonight but if I can't show my other chars full screens, no point on switching to Shadowplay. I'll try Intel Quick Sync as well and see how good/bad it is vs NVENC and x264 in Xsplit. So far, I can't complain about Xsplit NVENC results. From what I've read, Shadowplay uses something else compared to 3rd party software NVENC, which is probably why u noticed such differences.
